Title: Altcoins becoming more prominent Post by: fishy on June 13, 2013, 12:17:15 AM Do you think a scrypt based altcoin will ever become as prominent as bitcoin?
Most of them don't offer any advantages besides that they are scrypt based, so... (litecoin, worldcoin, etc.) Title: Re: Altcoins becoming more prominent Post by: Xian01 on June 13, 2013, 02:56:04 AM No.

Title: Re: Altcoins becoming more prominent Post by: rabbitweasel on June 13, 2013, 05:56:43 AM IMO litecoins aren't useful for anything other than buying bitcoins and fiat cashout. As bitcoin difficulty is too much for GPU miners, alt coins will devaluate not because of extra people moving there but rather the rate of difficulty increase is lower than bitcoin's rate of difficulty increase.

Title: Re: Altcoins becoming more prominent Post by: spiral_mind on June 13, 2013, 06:58:19 AM It doesn't seem like scrypt really adds anything. Once the hashrate is high enough I am sure ASICS will get made for it. The only thing that makes litecoin appealing to me is faster transaction times.

Could happen to LTC, but future is hard to tell. Title: Re: Altcoins becoming more prominent Post by: amytheplanarshift on June 13, 2013, 07:36:14 AM It doesn't seem like scrypt really adds anything.
